    Companies decide themselves what products to supply, how they are created, what materials are used, how they are packaged, how much they are transported, …

    And all of those decisions only take money into consideration.

    That is not on the consumer.

      If you want a car, a car has to be made. If you want to drive, energy needs to me used.

      There’s a limited amount of damage reduction that can be done with a change in the economical system.

      And I’m for ending capitalism. But it would be naive to thing that without capitalism everything will be fixed. Some things will be better, but most bad things will remain a problem.

      No matter what economic system you try to make. There’s no place in the world for 8 billion cars. And I use car a an example, but every item or service we use needs some resources. Even if we are top efficient about how we made them… It’s still not enough with 8 billion people wanting the same.
